Biography | |
Prof Dr Wan Hasiah Abdullah began her academic career in 1984 upon undertaking a tutorship/postgraduate programme in the UK and started teaching in the Department of Geology, University of Malaya in 1990. She was appointed Associate Professor in 1999 and Professor in 2005. Her research interest is in assessing oil-generating potential of coals and determining depositional environments of oil-prone source rocks. For her MSc, she worked on the Brent Formation coals of the North Sea and for her PhD she worked on a succession of sedimentary rocks from Spitsbergen, Svalbard. Throughout the years Prof Wan Hasiah has presented her research work in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Australia. She has published about 70 papers in ISI/SCOPUS journals, supervised 10 MSc/PhD students to completion and conducted many consultation projects for major oil companies such as Sabah/Sarawak SHELL and PETRONAS. In 2005 she introduced an MSc taught course in Petroleum Geology at the University of Malaya, the first of its kind in Malaysia, whilst the mixed-mode (coursework and research) was introduced in 2011. Adopting an innovative approach to teaching that allowed many applicants with engineering background and/or non-geological sciences to benefit from these MSc programmes. Through this approach, many of these graduates are presently serving major oil companies in Malaysia, undertaking tasks that are commonly performed by geoscientists. Prof Wan Hasiah has also served as Head of the Geology Department (2004-2007), as coordinator for the MSc Petroleum Geology programmes (2005-2015) and is presently holding the position of Deputy Director of University of Malaya’s Consultancy Unit. |
